Body
Below is the current code I use to get the total number of photos in a DB, An estimated number would even be acceptable as the number of results is just used to determine which folder number I would like to upload into for folder balance of files. I have a feeling there is a better way then I am using below? <pre><code>$sql = 'SELECT auto_id FROM friend_user_photo'; $query = executeQuery($sql); $rowcount = mysql_num_rows($query); </code></pre> $rowcount returns number of record in the friend_user_photo table UPDATE: Isn't there a way to read information about a database. that might be quicker then using above method or COUNT?

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
